Serves me right for responding on a mobile device ...

As a side note, this has inspired me to do a few measurements of throughput and latency and order a few verified Cat-6a cables (shielded) recommended by our IT group, and updating my switches to see if I can get faster throughput. Though no real complaints thus far, but a number of places I noticed a weakness, and honestly, it isn't that expensive to have a simple home network that is blindingly fast.

Given a single AQ Cinnamon 1.5m cable was more than what ALL of my other cables cost (and these are made with Belden cable and measured when built), that particular "try out" will have to wait.

I'll let everyone know what that does for streaming, if anything.

Right now I reeling a little bit with finding a Furman power filter (I think it retails for $80 or so ... but it's about 5 years old and found it in a box I thought lost in a move) and putting it on the auxiliary stuff in my righ (all the digital stuff, networking stuff, and the turntable motor ... and ... the sound cleaned up a little. Wonder how much digital trash was getting where it shouldn't have got? I hate this sometimes! ;-)
